Maya Cosmovision Retreat with Nana Marina

The Mayan culture contains profound ancestral knowledge that is still alive and practiced daily. The sacred calendar, tobacco, fire, and cacao are tools used by indigenous communities of Mesoamerica to be in constant communication with the elements of nature and the divine creator.

The Mayan elder Nana Marina is a healer of the Tz'utujil tradition of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Nana Marina has been sharing the Mayan traditions and knowledge with our generation, reminding us that our connection to the ancestral roots and Mother Earth can have a profound impact on our modern lives.

The intention of our visit is to share the importance of keeping ancestral wisdom and sacred plants alive. The funds raised from this retreat will be used to develop the Tz'utujil medicinal cacao production space. At the same time, educating individuals about these traditions so we continue to awaken our hearts and bring clarity to our lives.

This retreat offers us the opportunity to experience the ancestral knowledge so we can receive the wisdom. This will support our healing and clarify our intentions to balance our path.
